\ which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to a receptacle and means whereby the receptacle may be readily attached to or detached from a vehiclebody whereby such receptacle can when desired be positively retained in position on the body to adapt it for receiving and carrying articles that maybe required during the use of the vehicle, the character of the receptacle-attaching means permitting the receptacle, together with its contents, if desired, to be disengaged from the vehicle-body and placed for the time being in some more suitable location. p

The invention is particularly serviceable in connection with baby-carriages, whereit is generally necessary to haveavailable numerous articles.such as a nursing-bottle, food,

and other accessories-which attention to a child generally involves.

With the above and other purposes inview the invention comprehends the location on a vehicle-body, at ap ropriate points thereof, of devices with whic means carried by a receptacle can be readily engaged to positively hold said receptacle in position on said body, the receptacle being capacitated for carrying various desirable articles and the devices on the bodybeing of such nature that the receptacle can be easily disengaged and removed fromposition.

The arrangement of devices may be on both sides of the vehicle-body, there being, of

,, course, a distinct receptacle for each, or the devices may be located at the back or foot ofthe carriage-body. The number of pockets at any particular body side may be duplicated, and the devices may be disposed to be engaged by and support a receptacle on the interior surface of any of the body-walls.

In the accompanying drawings I have disclosed several of the forms which my invention can embody and also illustrate different applications of the improvements.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is anoutline view of a child s carri age,,illustrating a receptacle or pocket intermediately and externally secured onone of the sides of the carriagebody. Fig. 2 is a view of the pocket detached and showing more particularly the rings or loops carried thereby designed to engage the devices on the carriage-body. Fig. 3 is an enlarged side view'disclosing one of the numerous forms of devices which may be at- --.tached to the carriage-body for engagement by the pocket-rings, one of the latter being represented as being engaged. Figs. 4 and 5 are views of the pockets illustrated in the preceding figure.

Similar reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts in the figures where they occur.

Referring to the construction disclosed in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive, 2 2 2 indicate three of the pocket-supporting devices, which are lo cated, as represented in Fig. 1, at three points of the body side, two of said devices in the same horizontal plane at the upper portion of. said side, while the third of said devices is at a lower plane intermediately of the first two mentioned. Each of these devices, as illustrated in Fig. 3, comprises a yoke or U-shaped member 2 the open end of which is uppermost. The inner vertical leg of this member is rigidly provided with a horizontally-extending screw 2*, which is designed to extend through a perforation therefor appropriately located in the body side, the inner end of saidscrew projecting a short distance at the inner side of the body for'engagement of a nut 2, containing a thre'aded socket to engage said end and preferably of the rounded form shown to provide sufficient metal for the location of the socket and avoid objectionable angles. This nut is adapted. upon the screw to firmly secure the devlce 2 in position. A washer 2 interposed between the shaped spring 2 is located in the yoke so that one of thelegs of said spring can'be riveted to the inner vertical leg of the yoke.

Normally an inwardly-projecting portion of the other leg of the sprlng will bear against the inner side of the outer leg ofthe yoke.

The pocket 1 is of the shape represented in Figs. 1 and 2 and comprises a body rounded at its bottom, the top opening of which body being closed by a flap 4. At each upper corner and centrally at the lower rounded edge the ocket has rings or loops 1", which are inten ed to engage; within the springs of the devices 2 while such springs are opened and the said rings or loops be then positivly con- IIO fined by compressing said springs, as will be readily apparent. This will provide a con- .veniently-accessible pocket on the carriagebody, which pocket can be quickly removed when desired. The flap 'of the pocket can coact with any suitable fastening means to maintain said flap closed. A key-operated lock may be employed for this purpose; but generally a tongue l centrally on the flap, can be passed through a keeper and engaged with a button, both on the pocket-body.

The pocket 11 is of somewhat larger capacity than the pocket 1 and is of rectangular shape. Consequently four rings 1 are provided, one at each corner of the pocket, there being correspondingly four supporting devices or clips 2 on the body side.

The narrow vertically-extended companion pockets 9 10 of Fig. 5 have each four rings, one at each corner, to engage the corre sponding number of appropriately-located supporting devices or clips at the body-back.

The different receptacles or pockets may be of leather, fabric, or ratan, or other suitable materia Having now described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination, a vehicle-body, support ing devices each comprising a U-shaped yoke provided with a screw rigidly secured thereto and extending through the bodywall of the vehicle and having a nut on its end, a substantially U-shaped spring within said yoke, one leg secured thereto and the other leg provided with an inwardly-projecting portion adapted by the spring action of the leg to be normally held in contact with the other leg, of a receptacle having rings adapted to be engaged with and disengaged from the supporting devices, substantially as described.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 29th day of November, A. D. 1904.
